The first half of the year 1887 is closed
and with it the record Of q steady decrease
in failures although the liabilities are in ex-
cess ofthOse for the first half Of last year, due
to speculative failures. But with these
pirates of commerce frightened, in a great
measure, on the high seas Of trade by re-
cent events it may be said that q half year
never yet closed with q better outlook for
the future.

And all the air with bowling till.

IN the person of JABOB SHARP justice
has something of an elephant on her hands.
This is not meant as n ding at JAKE's
generous proportions; the fact is, Justice
does not know what to do with him.
While determined to make the punishment
ut the crime, she does not wish to kill
him with a harsh sentence. The old man
is certainly a physical wreck, and it would
take little to snuff out his tame of life
Already he has been punished more severe
ly than half the criminals in Sing Sing,
aud mercy prompts Il let up" But on
the other hand, he has the misfortune to
represent in his person the first bride giyer
convicted in New York. The crime is u
that makes a mOckery Of the law, and the
people demand that il be stamped out
There is no better way to do this than by
demonstrating to prospective bribe-givers
what the law will do when it catches
them. Aud there's the rub. The question
is, is JAKE SHARP to be inundated on the
altar Of example?

GEN. CASsIUs NJ. CLAY carries the war
into Africa in a speech to the Alumni As
ISOLATION of Yale College. He INDUCED in
the following remarks about the Prohibi-
ton party:
Temperance is well. Temperance in
eating and temperance in drinking; tenn
peranc in all things. But sumptuary
laws are forbidden by all the wisest apOthe-
gems of the greatest thinkers. The world
Is governed too much. Power is always
stealing from the many 10 the few. lem
perauce, like all the virtues, comes best by
moral rule and suasiOn. The church, the
Sunday school, tine family, the common
school, must teach temperance. Drunken
ness, like other crimes, must be punished
by tine, Imprisonment, exile and death, II
need he. But II is illogical to punish one
for what another does. Stimulants are the
good gifts OF Deity; as medicines they
stand against all the other thousand drugs
Of the shop. | will not by my own cOn-
sent yield up the right to use and not abuse
them. Poverty makes more d~runkards
than whisky. The abolition OF saloons IL
a question OF eNpediency alone.
CuNGRESs has a knOtty question to deal
with in the application OF Utah to be admit
ted into the Union. With Utah a full
tledged State endowed with all the rights
of such, the National authorities would
find it still more difficult to deal with pO-
lygamy than now when ~ u Territory
Utah is under the direct control of Con
gress. As a State this crime could not be
made eOnstitutioBally impossible because
the people could then change their consti-
tuition ~ they chose. A constitutional
convention is now in session at Salt Lake
City, but Congress should not be hood
winked into letting go it's control OF the
Saints by what this convention may do.
Its work is not final by any means. As
Utah cannot be admitted half way, or on
the basis OF any stipulation, hut must
either be made Il State or remain q Terri
tory, it is plain that Congress to be on the
"a lie side has but Que cOurse TO pursue,
which is TO say them nay.

ANOTHER MISTAKE,

The action Of few individuals in en-
deavOring to draw from the attendance
at the prohibition meeting on Saturday
night, by pSrading the streets with a
brass band, was not 10 good taste, nor
was it any evidence of good judgment
The speakers who came to this city
from abroad, for the purpose Of address
Ing the citizens here, or as many of them
as cared to hear their verbisge on the
subject OF the proposed amendment,
should have been let alone. No attempt
should have been made to prevent an at
tendance, any more than to prevent a
hearing. This Is the feeling of the anti
prOhibitiOnists Of San Antonio. That
band business was not authorized by the
chairman Of the Bexar county committee
nor by the chairman Of the district. Such
exhibitions are merely confessions Of
lack Of judgment and are fatal to those
who indulge in them. They will be ao-

SHERMAN'S REMEDY.

General Sherman's distinctive utter
anoes for free OauOI and an hcrrst
count have aruus.d no IiIIe spleen al
over the eOuihcrL stA,es. The cry has
been quite prolonged and the animus OF
the objections is easily understood. Gen.
Sherman, fully realizing that the colOred
vote OF the south is practically lost TO
the republican party, because Of the im-
possibility of securing fair count Of
that vote. and also by reason OF intlmi-
datiOu, is sincerely DESTROYS OF having
this evil counteracted. He has taken
the subject into very thoughtful con-
sideratiOn and has arrived at definite
conclusions. These conclusions, which
will no doubt be cOI sidered revolution
airy In tie Overwhelmingly democratic
states Of the south, are manlEestiy sound
and will win their way to general aCCep-
lance IN time. The theory of Mr.. Sher-
man is that in all elections directly az
fecting congress and the national gov
eminent, it is the duty of the federal
government under the constitution
to so supervise these elections
as to prevent all intimidation
and suppression. rhe cOlOred vote
of the south is made factor in de-
termining the number vi congressional
representatives each stat Is entitled TO
elect, and as these representatives. CON-
pose the federal congress, it is eminent
ly wise and just that the federal govern
ment should see to it that the COngr,z-
siOnsl elections should fairly represent
the vote upon which a representation Is
based. Mr.. Sherman says:
l would have congress enact a law
fixing the time. manner and uiruum-
stances Of eleCiiug members OF con-
gress, defining and providing for The
rights OF every citizen al such an cleo
tiOn, and putting II wholly with the
government for the conduct and regula-
tiOn of congressional elections. with
such a statute enforced, there could be no
abridgemsnt Il the elective franchise,
no suppression OF bailUis III elections
concerning the interests OF govern
ment. Then if communities, or even
states, should attempt 10 de-
prive citizens of their rights OF
franchise, the government could law
fully interfere, put an end to il and re-
babilitate every citizen. with the right
to every citizen to cast his vote and
have it counted for members OF congress
and electors for president clearly estaD
ltshed and enforced, the same right at
state aud local elections would soon ell
force Itself, although there would BE- no
government interference.
No matter how far Mr. Sherman
predictions concerning the result in
state elections should, or should not be
verified, it is certain that congress owes
ii to herself as h duty to see that the
vote by which her own members are
elected, is Il free vote and not suppress
sed or untimidated one. There are
scores Of democratic congressman in The
national house Of representatives. today,
who are there because u free and iair
ballot is not gwen the cOlOred voters Of
the south. Either the congressional
representation should be cut down to
the basis of the southern white vote, or
means should be taken for insurng
free ballot and fair count in every con-
gressional district.

A Word About Catarrh.

1T is the mucous membrane, that wonder
lul s"m-iuid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues Of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estab-
Iishcd il eats into the very Vitals and renders
life but long drawn breath of misery and
disease, dulling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty Of smell, tainting the breath, aud kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. lnsidiOus-
ly, 10y creeping on from simple cold in the
head, it assaults the mCmbrah Gus lining and
rnNClOps the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradI-
cation will secure health to the patient, and
AL alternatives are simply ErOcTastinated suf-
iCrings, leading to Il fatal termination. SAN
TOKn'S RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by
internal administration, has never failed;
even whCn the disease has made frightiul in
roads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell
and taste have been recovered, and the disease
thoroughly driven out"
SNNFURD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box CATAR-
Rm ~ SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER,

snti-Prohihitlon party, when in fact the
anti-prohibitiUn party, No such, had no
part nor lot in the Uatter and did not
approve OF the action taken. Let this
matter be fully understood. Admitting
that the prOhibitionists are determined
to subvert the freedom of our state, and
are attempting TO persuade men to vote
away the liberties which the cOnstitu-
tion and the laws have hitherto con-
ferred and guaranteed, they are at least
doing so in a legal manner. By act Of
the democratic legislature OF this state,
vote of the people Of this state has
been ordered upon this question. II 1t
is made the duty of the citizen to vote
upon this question, 1t Is certainly the
privilege of men to address the
public on the Issues involved. Any at
tempt 10 prevent this is an offence
against free speech, no matter by whom
perpet:ated. II the mere rantlngs Of
prOhibitiOnists are such conclusive argu-
ments in favor Of the subversiOn OF in
dividual rights that the anti-prOhibitiOn-
lists are afraid of those rantings being
heard, then there is more reason and
good argument on the side Of prohibit
tiOn than the LIGHT believes to exist.
The LIGHT is decidedly of the opinion
that there is no sound basis in reason
for the position taken by the prohibition
party, and SO favOrs the fullest express
sion OF opinion on the subject, fully as
sured that when the public mind is really
informed as to what is involved in this
issue, the public action at the polls on
the 4th OF August will be in accordance
Herewith. Anything that savOrs of
would have been far wiser for those who
fear the effect OF prohibition harangue
to go and hear one, thoroughly consider
its bearings and statements, and then
hear some intelligent anti-prOhibitIonist
answer those statements. 10 would
convince him, once and forever, that the
strength of sntI-prOhibition lies In full
understanding of the whole matter, and
not in any attempt to suppress speech
or fOrestaIl q hearing of prohibition
speakers. 1t is sincerely TO be hoped
th"t the next prohibition talker who
comes to San Antonio will not be made
to appear as a martyr to his principles,
and so gain for his cause sympathy and
a support that it never could gain on its
own merits

The Irish In Ireland should go slow
and not hastily follow Mr.. Dillon's lead
In resorting to violence. Parnell should
have an undivided people at his back In
his work of suppressing Tory influence
10 the commons and creating friends
and supporters for the GladstOnian
party. Parnell's policy OF parliamentary
agitation alone and a peaceful accept
ance OF all the disabilities of the situa-
ton has wrought wonderful change in
English sentiment concerning Irish az
fairs. and time with patience will accom-
plish the rest. Already some OF the
most obnoxious of the governments
proposals concerning Irish coercion
have been Topped off by the commons it,
self, and there Is no doubt but that the
coercion bill viii be itself very largely a
dead letter. Dillon's opposition does no
good, ii only inflames the Tories and
prevents the work of converting English
liberals to the party OF Gladstone and
Parnell.
